You can calculate it using the '1 syn for every 20 cals' formula as there is no free food allowance HTH x
So using the figures you've posted:100g would be 22 syns, so 40g would be 22/10 which is 2.2 then multiplied by 4 so 8.8, rounded up to 9 syns
Hope that made sense x

Thanks for the reply Welshtigger. I have just noticed that its 89 cals for half the bag ( 20g ) So am thinking that would be 4 and a half, is this right. Am very new to the 20 cals = 1 syn. Did everyone find this out in class?

That's right yeah the formula is the same one the snackulator on the website uses the consultants don't seem to like talking about it, as I guess they sell food directories etc x
